 Rimon: The Minnesota Jewish Arts Council makes Slingshot list; Sabes JCC also honored

 NEW YORK (JTA) — Eighteen organizations made their debut on the annual Slingshot Guide of the 50 most innovative Jewish groups.
The guide, which was launched in 2005 by a group of donors in their 20s and 30s, evaluates North American Jewish organizations on “their innovative approach, the impact they have in their work, the leadership they have in their sector, and their effectiveness at achieving results.”
Rimon: The Minnesota Jewish Arts Council was included in the list for the third consecutive year.
The group published two supplements — on Disabilities & Inclusion and on Women & Girls — as a means to broaden the Slingshot community and attract public interest and donor support toward these areas, it said.
The Disabilities & Inclusion supplement named 18 Jewish organizations committed to fostering inclusion of people with disabilities. Included in the group was Sabes JCC of Minneapolis.
The guide also features 17 “standard bearers,” organizations such as Moishe House and Mechon Hadar that are included consistently as “models of innovation.”
Newcomers to the list include City Harvest’s Kosher Initiative, a hunger-relief project in New York; NewGround: A Muslim Jewish Partnership for Change in Los Angeles; the Ramah Tikvah Network, a training program for professionals serving special-needs populations; and The Kitchen, an alternative congregation in San Francisco.
Of the 50 Slingshot groups, the average founding year is 2005 and the average annual budget is $717,320. Women lead 52 percent of the groups.
“Slingshot is a resource highlighting the breadth and depth of the Jewish community at this moment, and it is relied upon by doers and donors alike,” said Will Schneider, Slingshot’s executive director.
The book is available in hard copy and as a free download.
